Berbagi Binari Executable Dalam Satu Komputer

Alkisah baru-baru ini saya menginstalasi Mandriva Linux 2008 untuk 'menemani' Ubuntu 8.04 yang 'kesepian' karena sendiri di komputer saya. Seperti yang sudah-sudah, Mandriva memang distro yang sangat 'desktop oriented'. Tampilan boot splash dan desktop yang serba biru laut dan kelihatan sangat elegan.

Permasalahan utamanya adalah, saya tidak mempunyai kumpulan paket repositori yang lengkap. Padahal, saya sangat menyukai aplikasi-aplikasi tertentu yang ternyata tidak saya temukan dalam DVD instalasi standar Mandriva Linux 2008.

Di tengah kebingungan itu saya iseng me-mount partisi Ubuntu dan membuka direktori binari. Saya iseng juga mengeksekusi kumpulan binari milik ubuntu tersebut dan ternyata bisa di eksekusi! Wah!

Tanpa pikir panjang, saya langsung memasukan partisi ubuntu ke fstab, kemudian saya membuat symbolic link binari aplikasi yang ada di ubuntu ke direktori binari Mandriva Linux saya. Saya memakai sampel sebuah aplikasi graphic-editing kecil dan powerful bernama kolourpaint. Sebagai contoh, saya meletakan direktori mount partisi ubuntu di /media/ubuntu

$ su

# ln -s /media/ubuntu/usr/bin/kolourpaint /usr/bin/kolourpaint

Untuk mengintegrasikan symbolic link kolourpaint ke menu Mandriva, kita tinggal mengcopy file konfigurasi launcher kolourpaint dari partisi ubuntu yang terletak di /media/ubuntu/usr/share/applications/kde/kolourpaint.desktop.

$ su

# cp /media/ubuntu/usr/share/applications/kde/kolourpaint.desktop /usr/share/applications

Sekarang kita masuk ke GNOME/KDE menu, dan aplikasi 'baru' kita sudah terintegrasi di menu. Sangat mudah dan simpel!

Kesimpulan yang bisa di ambil adalah, jika kita memiliki lebih dari satu desktop Linux dalam satu komputer, kita bisa saling berbagi binari aplikasi dan tentu akan lebih mudah karena kita sering menemui kesulitan menemukan paket software yang spesifik untuk suatu distribusi Linux yang kita gunakan!

Selamat ber-Linux ! ^_^

Ubuntu Kylin 19.04 Review : A Gorgeous Windows 10 Clone

It's been quite a while since the last post I wrote in this blog. My daily life prevents me to write another stuff about Linux Desktop, and now I'm curious to take a look to the Ubuntu Kylin 19.04. Ubuntu is always be my favorite distro. It supports huge number of hardwares, it has probably the largest Linux software repository. It is also --the most important thing-- very easy to install, even for beginners. But for some couple of years, because of technical reason, I stopped to play around with the Ubuntu releases. I stood for KDE Neon and became my primary OS because of its simplicity and the look. Few days ago Ubuntu has released its newer version, Ubuntu 19.04 codenamed Disco Dingo. I'm yes impressed by the progress Ubuntu developer has made, especially the way they arrange the GNOME desktop to match the Ubuntu theme. But the most interesting flavor of this release is Ubuntu Kylin. It's an official Ubuntu flavor, designed for Chinese People with its own...

How To Speed Up Your KDE Plasma Desktop (KDE4)

KDE is one of the oldest desktop environment in Linux. While GNOME (the other desktop that as old as KDE) is trying to built its own style of user interface, KDE from the beginning seems to mimics the Microsoft Windows' "classic" user interface. Thus, KDE has its own user base, especially for them who still in love with the Windows' philosophy : a simple desktop, with a single taskbar in the bottom, and a start menu in the left. Personally, I love KDE. It's gorgeous and eyecandy. But sometimes, I feel KDE is little bit slow in my older hardwares. So, after some experiences, I've found some tweak how to make KDE Plasma Desktop Runs Faster . 1. Change The Compositing Engine Go to System Settings>Desktop Effect>Advanced , and change the Compositing type from OpenGL 2.0 to XRender. 2. Remove All Bloatware Apps There are some uneeded apps installed in Kubuntu (my favorite KDE distro) and you could safely remove them. Here are my list : ...

BAM Huawei Mobile Partner For Linux. Download and Install.

And the most used device to use broadband connection is USB Modem (GSM/CDMA), and one of the most used brands is Huawei, a world-recognized Chinese manufacture that focuses to produce great networking devices (modems, router etc). It is probably the most popular brand from China and I have to say that Huawei is a great product. Because of this I decided to buy a CDMA USB modem from Huawei. And greatly, this has already been recognized by Linux from so long time ago and so I can use the modem easily with GNOME's Network Manager. But later I found a problem : how to top up my prepaid internet account? To top up my prepaid internet account, I have to send a SMS to the provider and I can't do this on Linux.
